Nano Energies – Plugging businesses into a decentralised data platform

Across Europe, with the march of digitalization, new energy sources are emerging, often smaller – but faster and smarter. As pioneer flexibility aggregators, we’re gamechangers by combining energy sources, turning them into virtual units and building a data platform for more efficient energy consumption & production. Because what’s efficient is also environmentally-friendly.

Increased renewables generation, especially variable sources such as wind and solar, causes greater electricity grid instability. But this volatility is our opportunity. Our flexibility management enables energy asset managers to participate in balancing energy markets while cutting energy costs.

Nano Energies is the first energy flexibility aggregator in the Czech Republic and also active in a number of countries in central and Eastern Europe. Our main focus areas are managing flexible energy assets in ancillary services markets, intraday trading of energy assets, operating demand response services as well as operating a centralized trading and dispatching center for the CEE region.

We strive to quicken the transition to flexible renewable energy in the CEE region in particular. We do this by supporting policy and legislative changes to strengthen the role of independent flexibility aggregation in creating a cleaner and more democratic energy system.

Flexibility is a crucial component of a sustainable energy system, as it temporarily adjusts power generation and consumption based on its value and the grid’s needs. At Sympower, we provide sophisticated software solutions to facilitate flexibility to stabilise the grid, while rewarding our customers in return.

We unlock the flexibility of electric assets across industries, from steel smelting to solar panels, electric vehicles to paper production, and maximising the value of this flexibility across energy markets. When the grid is out of balance, we temporarily adjust the power of machines and processes through our advanced and automated demand response capabilities.

By providing non-intrusive software solutions, we allow our customers to enhance the value of their electrical assets and empower traditional industries to become more sustainable and enable the shift from fossil fuels to renewables.

Sympower is playing a fundamental role in making electricity markets accessible, flexible and ready for the energy transition. Currently, the regulation is making this very difficult, policy-making is slow and traditional energy companies feel threatened by the business model of independent aggregators. To succeed, we need a coordinated European approach to help independent aggregators like Sympower to be recognized as primary players in energy markets.
